Making History
Our unit took part in a historic moment yesterday. We had the distinct privelege of escorting and delivering the ballots that will be used in Sunday's election.
I talked to one of the guys who was about to go on the mission, and he was really pumped about what he was about to do. The insurgents would love to get their hands on those ballots and cause havoc in the election process, and we are here to make sure they don't even get the chance.
Make no mistake, they will continue to use terror and intimidation to keep people from the polls. I only pray that the Iraqi citizens will have the courage and conviction to stand against them and begin the process of taking their country back.
I'm proud that we have the opportunity to contribute and make a difference.

Daddy,
I miss you. I'm sorry that you have to be there for a long time. When I go to bed I pray for you to be safe. I think about you everyday. I can't wait for you to come home.
Love,
Seth
John - thanks for helping to make the elections a success and for the sacrifices you're making. You're getting prayed for by people you don't know.
